Project ComeBack

This structured 6-week program brings rescued horses and Veterans together to find healing. Through classroom instruction, direct observation, and one-on-one interaction, Veterans are educated on basic horse psychology, communication, anatomy, and herd dynamics. Each Veteran is provided with a history of prior trauma that each horse is working through and the actions needed to assist in their readjustment into a herd.

Our focus is to help people step outside of themselves, to guide them in helping something bigger than themselves (physically and metaphorically), and as a result experience organic healing for themselves as they help a horse along a healing journey of its own. We put the horse first for this reason, and for the reason that any program offering "healing" cannot come at the cost of another being. We find that through sharing the horse's story people can connect with parts of that story, and start to draw parallels to their own healing process.
